Chapter III Interpretations
Along the way, I have been intently observing my surroundings and the compass in my hand, and I have been moving almost all the way due north, and I have not noticed anything wrong. There are no bends on the road, and the occasional twists and turns are not very big, not to mention that they can lead us in a circle.
But now it's really back to square one, I don't know what can explain this kind of thing, at least the mysterious villages that were revealed before are impossible, because the geomagnetic field is impossible to be confused by those small errors, our direction has not changed, and this phenomenon can only be explained by other things.
After walking for so long, everyone felt tired, so we sat down on the road and took something out to eat.
Everyone was talking about it while eating, and it was daytime, so it was ruled out in the first place. And we came all the way, there were a lot of markers along the way, and Liu explained them all once, which made us very impressed. These markers are all in a fixed order and quantity, and Ge Haoran has been counting, and there is no mistake in the order and number of the arrangement, and the possibility of taking a fork in the road has also been ruled out. As for the possibility of moving the mechanism, it may be possible in a room or a burial chamber, but to make an entire village into a mechanism, aside from the craftsmanship, I really don't know of a dynasty in history that could have the financial resources to make such a big deal.
At this point, the discussion was completely frozen, and there was no other possibility than these two points, only the sound of each person's chewing remained. At this time, Ge Haoran suddenly broke the silence,
"Is it possible that the formation mentioned in martial arts novels is the kind of formation?"
Hearing him say that, I wanted to laugh. Everyone has seen those divine formations, and a few simple things can trap people inside, and even produce all kinds of hallucinations. But this is something in a novel after all, and I'm not sure how credible it is, but the sinkhole that Liu Dongxi said before was protected by the formation and no one could get close to it, so I also believe a little bit about it.
I looked at Liu Dongxi, after all, his family is playing these strange tricks, and he has more right to speak.
Liu Dongxi shook his head and said: "There is also this kind of formation, it is still the same method as before, which makes people unable to recognize the direction, but it is definitely not so mysterious." ”
"Is there anything else possible?" I asked.
"There are other methods, but the requirements for terrain and weather are more demanding, and they have to be supplemented with medicine...... Liu Dongxi lowered his head and thought about it and then said, "Unless someone deliberately deals with us, it is impossible." ”
In normal times, we must seriously think about who would do this kind of thing against us, but at this time, how can anyone have the leisure to deal with us?
The atmosphere was sluggish again, and I searched my mind for memories of these things, but I didn't have a clue.
At this time, Liu Dongxi suddenly said: "Is it really haunted?" ”
Amazing!
Lu Yan originally lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, but at this time, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Liu Dongxi. Seeing this scene, I was shocked, and when I looked at Lu Yan again, I felt a little different.
In fact, among those of us, I'm afraid that the one who doesn't believe in ghosts the most is Liu Shi. Chinese metaphysics is originally a self-contained theoretical system, although it is not recognized by mainstream science, it is objective and rigorous within the system, and it is quite self-justifying. Liu Dongxi has been immersed in it since he was a child, so he naturally won't believe in the words of ghosts and demons.
Even such a person can say something haunted, and it seems that there is really no other way.
"What the hell?"
"I don't know"
At this time, I suddenly had the idea that we had walked all the way from outside the village, and there was no turning at all, and if we were walking back at this moment, it stands to reason that we should be able to walk outside the village. If we can only go back here, then it means that these roads have quietly changed since we entered the village, and in this case, I really can't think of any other explanation than the haunting.
I told everyone this, and everyone agreed to this, and Liu Dongxi proposed to divide into two teams, leaving one team here. If you go out like this, you don't have to say, if you go back again, you have to see how it happened!
This method is more necessary for him, after all, it is necessary to say that the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and even if the two people left behind jump out of the bureaus of the authorities and become bystanders, it is necessary to solve the problem.
The next question is to decide who will stay, after all, this kind of bystander role requires a strong psychological quality, you can never know where the person who just walked from you will appear from, and there may be a lot of unbelievable things happening. It's hard for me to describe the feeling, for example, you have a ghost behind you all the time, but you don't know it, neither you nor the ghost are scared, but the person who sees it is likely to be scared crazy.
The combination of Liu Dongxi and Lu Yan is undoubtedly the most suitable, but I don't know why Liu Dongxi is reluctant to be alone with Lu Yan, and Ge Haoran is with Liu Dongxi, I am really worried that Liu Dongxi will kill Ge Haoran. There was no choice but for me to go on the road with Liu Dongxi, and leave Ge Haoran and Lu Yan there.
There were two walkie-talkies in the car, and the only remaining ones were brought in, which came in handy, and we were in two teams and one in a team, and we could contact them if we just joined us and went out.
Before leaving, Liu Dongxi and I left the extra weight on our bodies in the same place, and no one thought that we would probably never see them again!
Although everyone's mood was heavy, we tried to relax as much as possible and continue to discuss the issue at hand. Liu Dongxi has already vetoed the possibility of haunting, on the grounds that there is little Adam here, and it is reasonable for the evil to retreat, and it is impossible to find us.
In fact, there is a speculation in my mind, that is, the wormhole that is rumored in science fiction novels will have a wormhole at the end of the road to fold the space back to the vicinity of the Tang Dynasty stone carving?
But Liu was not a good object for discussion, I briefly talked to him and did not go any further, and the topic quickly turned into small talk.
I looked at my watch, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and it had been an hour since I set off, and the tall gatehouse in front of me told me that I was halfway through the road! I pointed it out to Liu Shixi, and Liu Shiwu nodded yes, and then I suddenly grabbed the wandering thought in my head.
"Liu Dongxi, how big do you think this village is?"
Liu Dongxi walked in front and looked back at me, "It's not small, look at the scale of no less than 200 households!" ”
I didn't speak, I stood still and looked at Liu Shi, he looked at me and looked at him, and he also figured out that something was wrong, and slapped his thigh,
"That's what happened!"
"No matter how slow we go, we can walk thirty miles in two hours, and we can't walk to the end of such a small village?"
"That's right! 200 families next to each other can't go so far! There's something strange about this village! ”
I looked at Liu and felt a little crying and laughing, this guy is very shrewd and likes to talk nonsense, is there something strange in this village and you still need to push it?
This road is not narrow, and more than 30 li occupies a considerable area, which is definitely not something that this Zhuangzi can accommodate. After less than three trips, I don't think there will be any places that have been passed over and over again. If it's said that there is some mechanism underground to promote the scene change, I don't think it's very reliable, after all, it's blue and white, and there is no possibility that any changes will hide our attention, not to mention the operation of such a large-scale mechanism, the sound is definitely not small, and it is definitely not the scene it is now.
There is only one way to do this by accommodating a large area in a small area, and that is through buildings. I can imagine that we were walking on a spiraling staircase that sent us back after going up and down.
But there are also problems with this explanation, first, that there is a normal sky view above our heads; Second, the direction in which we walk is always fixed to the north. In this way, the problems we face are probably not explained in this dimension.
I told Liu Dongxi what I thought, Liu Dongxi listened very carefully but did not rush to speak, and in front, Lu Yan and Ge Haoran were sitting against the wall boredly, hearing our voices, looking up.
Sure enough, we came back!
